The Grey Institute across the road from the Donkin Reserve was completed in 1859 and housed Grey High School until 1915 when they moved to their present site in Mill Park. Since then the building housed Pearson High School (now in Summerstrand) and then the Albert Jackson Primary School. Since it was bought by the Mediterranean Shipping Company the building has had extensive renovations done to it although the historic look and feel was kept. When I got to visit a little while ago work is being done on the old rectory and I really like the fact that they decided to insert the Grey High School shield into the stained glass windows.
